CF8 mac and issues
I've been trying to get CF8 up and running on my new mac for a day or so with no luck, but tonight i was determind. Armed with vigor I cracked on.
First of I couldn't get apache up and running on my machine for some reaaon so I ended up installing XAMPP. I then installed CF8 and followed the instructions pointing the server at the XAMPP apache install. This all went well until i tried to run the administrator which just hung on me. A reboot later and still no joy (mac reboots so much quicker than a PC :) ). So i looked at the apache log and saw this error:
Well that got me thinking that jrun wasn't running at all, so i booted up the CF started and tryed that, still with no joy. So i then decided to look at the CF log file an saw this:
What the hec was that! I did a little googling and it would appear that you can't start CF8 via the console it provides in OS 10.5. So going into terminal (thanks AndyJ for showing me this) i ran this command:
Bingo, we're up and running. Now it's time to move all my code over.





Steve Brownlea has a couple of tutorials on installing CF8 on JBoss. http://www.fusioncube.net/?p=94
I followed the tutorial and have CF8 up and runninng on my MacBook. It was very easy. I fire up JBoss and I have CF running on localhost no problems.
